Let Them Yell Conspiracy Theorist

The avalanche of posts yelling 'conspiracy' over Event Covid has been an eye-opener. It causes me to wonder what these people would say if we all sat back and let tyranny run its course. Would they sigh, 'who could possibly have seen it coming?'.  No, because they'd be too busy celebrating tyranny.

How so? The politics of envy. The deep, satisfying appeal of schadenfreude. Dig to the root of politics, whether you examine stump speeches or Twitter rants or read deeply on the Soviet purges or the red scares, the neighbors turned in to the NKVD, the cooperation of the Amsterdam police with the invading Nazis, conservatives attacking the 'undeserving poor' or socialist demands to cut down tall poppies, the burning of black towns during Reconstruction, and the very selective application of the concept of racism by people who tout their modern liberalism, exposed by Dr Shiva Ayyadurai...



It's the appeal to envy in every case. Like the economists who tested the actual basis of schadenfreude and found that many people would prefer their rival suffered a pay cut to getting more money themselves.

We see it behind the lockdown kill joys, the snitches and beadles. Sadly this stuff has political appeal. God bless my mother but she was not right when she brought me up to believe most people are basically good. She forgot to point out that good has an evil twin. She only taught half the story. I learned the rest at personal cost.

The eager trolling tries to silence anyone seeking to make sense of the eerie coincidences around Event Covid. Like those who ridiculed Craig Murray for "connecting the dots" over Dominic Cummings' visit to somewhere very near GlaxoSmithKline, as if he'd committed a sin before he opened his mouth. Pre-thought-pre-crime.

We understand envy in the context of trolls attacking celebrities or those who seem to 'have it all'. But envy can target more than money or lifestyle. Office dwellers will have seen envy behind attacks on competence and vicious attempts to disrupt the satisfaction another person may find in their work or their joy in friendship. Display any skill, even a talent to keep the photocopier running, and the snide comment won't be long in coming. https://onthespike.com/2019/10/01/envy/

Tyranny thrives on envy. One of the least bloody yet most demonic acts of the Bolsheviks was to ban anyone whose ancestors had been landowners from receiving any more than a kindergarten education.

Expect politicians to set classes against each other as they deflect blame for the chaos caused by Event Covid. Be alert to the rise of tyranny that thrives on visceral envy dressed up as equity and justice. Robespierre's "swift, severe, indomitable justice" or Dzerzhinsky's "organized terror... on the basis of their class affiliation or their pre-revolutionary roles."

How would you have behaved if you'd been there and not reading it in the history books?
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… 
The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” 
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is widely commented that what begins as foreign policy later becomes domestic.  The fusion techniques of military, economic and social suppression that was the Phoenix Program in Vietnam eventually came home to cities in the United States.

Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote, “The three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together.”

In the hands of people who lack historical knowledge and moral perspective, the operational security that begins with Brzezinski could end with Dzerzhinsky. That is why we will continue connecting the dots and be vocal about any policy or technology that could be used for tyranny, even while others yell "conspiracy theorist".
